SPECJEFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 654,032, dated July 17, 1900.

Application filed November 27,1899. Serial No. 738,274. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANsON L. SONN, of the village of Lansingburg, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Brushes,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements upon that class of brushes in which the bristle tufts are at one of their ends secured within a cement or composition pad and with the latter while warm and yielding entered within a sink or recess formed in the bristle side of the brush-back, to be secured therein by the cement when cooled; and my improvement has for its object the extension of the cement or composition pad out over the wood at the edge of the recess to the edge of the brushback, so that the outer side edge of the back and the corresponding edge of the cement will be so placed with reference to each other as to be finished together. \Vhen the cement pad, in which the bristles have been previously inserted and before the pad is hardened, is entered within the sink, there is an attend ant difficulty in making a good finish between the edge of the pad and the edge of the sink, and to remedy this I extend the cement pad over the wood between the edge of the sink and the outer edge of the brush thereat.

Accompanying this specification to form a part of it there is a plate of drawings containing two figures illustrating the application of my invention, with the same designation of parts byletter reference used in both of them.

Of the illustrationsfl igure l is a perspective of a hair-brush containing my invention, and Fig. 2 is a section taken on the lineoc x of Fig. 1.

The several parts of the brush thus illustrated, as well as the parts thereof illustrating the application of my invention, are designated by letter reference, and the function of the parts is described as follows:

The letter B designates the brush-body,and 11 its bristle-receiving face.

The letter S designates a sink or recess formed in the bristle=receiving side of the brush-body.

The letter O designates a cement pad, which while liquified by heat is molded around the bristle tufts T and which while still plastic and before fully hardening is forced to enter the sink S and to be spread out at (3 as a veneer over the bristle-receiving face 19 of the brush-body. There the handle H joins the bodypart of the brushes,as indicated at h ,the cement pad 0 is carried to the edge of the sink only, and it does not extend beyond the edge of the latter outwardly. This cement can be made to inclose the bristle tufts and form the pad 0 by any of the well-known means in use for doing it and as made may be arranged to connect with the sink S by any of the well-known means in use. By extending the edge of the cement pad outwardly over the wood, beyond the recess at the outer end and sides of the latter to the outer edge of the brush-back, the cement is made to act as a veneer when hardened and causes the parts to be susceptible of a good finish.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

' A brush consisting of a brush-body having a recess formed in its bristle-receiving face, the bristles and a pad of cement which fastens the bristles, filling the said recess and the cement extending as a thin veneer from the recess at the sides and end thereof to the outer edge of the brush-body, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
